Clara is a lovely host, and her home is fabulous. Excellent location and very peaceful. Brilliant that it had a pool too, as many private homes dont. The pictures do not show how fabulous the Villa is. I recommend anyone to stay here, and I will be rebooking in the future.

Great few nights staying here. Close enough to all that Lagos has to offer but far enough from the late night noise if you want to avoid it. Flat is modern and well appointed, with easy check in and access. Miguel and Liv were super helpful and nothing was too much bother. Would definitely stay again.

A well located apartment. Everything is within walking distance, the city center, the beaches, and yet quiet. The apartment is well appointed, perfect for two people. Unfortunately we were not able to enjoy the roof terrace, the good weather was not at the rendezvous, but another time, without rain, it is a real added value. Miriam and Filipe are lovely hosts. Communication was easy and friendly. They were able to give us some very good advice and were very attentive to a medical concern about me. They are very responsive people who love their profession and who do everything to make their hosts' stay go as smoothly as possible. If we come back to Ferragudo, it will definitely be in this place. You can go there without a second thought.

ErnestRating, 5 stars8 months ago

We loved our stay at Gonçalo's place. Beautiful, tranquil and chic, the space was the perfect hideaway for our vacation in Comporta. Close to all the beaches, restaurants and everything the area has to offer. The large, lofty and airy space is tastefully decorated with beautiful artwork, lovely furniture and small touches. The large eating and many sitting areas inside and out offered lots of options to lounge, relax, read a book or nap. Notably, Gonçalo is a cool and interesting guy. He gave us insider recommendations for hidden beaches we would have never discovered on our own. A special treat was Gonçalo's assistant Inês who made our stay incredible. She welcomed us warmly, took care of small requests, offered advice on local restaurants, and even hand picked fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden! Thank you Inês for making us feel at home! Highly recommend staying here if your looking for a chic and designer space in Comporta.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Stay for Families! We spent a month here as a family and absolutely loved it. The house is perfectly suited for families, with an open, loft-like layout where all essential areas—kitchen, dining, and living room—are on one level. This made our stay especially enjoyable and safe for the kids, as they could move around freely and comfortably. The staff on the ground was incredibly friendly and helpful, always making sure we had everything we needed. The cleanliness was impeccable—truly outstanding! The location is also fantastic, serving as a great starting point for visiting some of the most beautiful family-friendly beaches like Monte Clérigo and Amoreira. We felt completely at home and would highly recommend this place to other families looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and welcoming stay.

If I ever go back, I would stay in the apartment again without any hesitation.

There was always hot water even when we were all showering in the evening. Everything you could need was provided. Location was excellent with restaurants and bars in the marina 5 mins away and the Old Town a pleasant 15 min walk. Would highly recommend.

Charming triplex T2 in the Old Village

5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews3 weeks ago

Our stay at this Airbnb in the Algarve was absolutely perfect! The location couldn’t have been better—just a 5-minute walk to the vibrant port area filled with fantastic restaurants, while also being centrally positioned for access to some of the best golf courses in the region. Plus, it was a short and easy trip from the airport, making our arrival and departure completely hassle-free. The accommodation itself was stunning! There were multiple swimming pools to enjoy, and the rooftop terrace was a dream—offering breathtaking sea views and a gorgeous outlook over the nearby golf course. It was the perfect place to relax with a coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. On top of all that, our host was outstanding—professional, attentive, and truly went above and beyond. I mistakenly left my suitcase behind, and they didn’t hesitate to arrange for it to be posted back to me. Such a kind and thoughtful gesture that made all the difference!

Beautiful Sunny Villa Near Beach

LisaRating, 5 stars7 months ago

A fabulous stay, Helena was so helpful, fast to respond & helped with our transfer. First visit to Portugal! Villa easy to access, we didn't have a car but short walk with cases. Super clean, great instructions. Every thing you need & very comfortable. Bonus aircon & lovely veranda. Staff at bar on resort super friendly & food drink tasty & welll priced. Lovely pool. Villa near pool/opposite mini park for small children if you have! Few minutes walk to some restuarants & easy to get to others by uber. This worked well, was cheap & cheaper than car rental. Raphael beach a walk of 15 minutes, lovely but a walk up hill on way back, if you have stuff to take or fitness/body issues uber/car advised! Also other beaches great! Boat trips a must & safari jeep into mountains to understand area better! Marina lovely & old town but more commercial, still nice but if you want quaint stay out of centre. Supermarkets fab, great choices & amazing quality. Would return in a heartbeat! ! Thx you!

We had a wonderful week here! Our 5 year old loved the climbing frame, extra toys and of course the heated swimming pool. We loved the peace and quiet, the beautiful surroundings and the view. The house is extremely comfortable and we were made to feel at home right away after a lovely welcome and tour to help us get settled. The fantastic beds (hotel quality) and blackout blinds meant that we all slept really well, especially after long, active days. All of the facilities were of very high quality. The area is beautiful with a range of different beaches to choose from, as well as trips to Lisbon and Sintra easily possible, and the nearby mountains as well. There was also the convenience of a lovely bakery and mini supermarket very close by, as well as fantastic restaurants on the local beaches. A great place to stay, wonderful hosts and a fantastic area. We would highly recommend!!
